    8 Improper Integrals
    Calculus II

    Goal: To be able to recognize and evaluate improper integrals and apply the comparison test
    when necessary.
    Recall: Up to this point, we have evaluated definite integrals over finite intervals. That is,
    definite integrals of the form Z 2
    f (x) dx.
    0

    Motivating Example: Evaluate and interpret the ‘area function’


    Z t
    1
    A(t) = 2
    dx
    0 1+x

    Note:

    Improper Integral of Type I:


    Rt
    • If a f (x) dx exists for every t ≥ a, then
    Z ∞
    f (x) dx = .
    a

    Rb
    • If t
    f (x) dx exists for every t ≤ b, then
    Z b
    f (x) dx = .
    −∞

    We call the improper integral convergent if the limit exists and divergent if the limit does not
    exist.

    Z ∞

    Example: For what values of p does dx converge?
    1 xp

    Z ∞
    x
    Example: Without evaluating, determine if dx is convergent or divergent.
    1 x3 +1

    Comparison Test (CT): Suppose f and g are continuous and 0 ≤ g(x) ≤ f (x) for x ≥ a.
    R∞
    • If a f (x) dx converges, then

    R∞
    • If a
    g(x) dx diverges, then

    Example: Use the CT to determine if √ dx converges or diverges.
    1 x2 − 1

    7.8 Improper Integrals
    Calculus II

    Recall: Improper integral of Type I

    Z ∞
    1
    Example: dx =
    0 x2 + 3x + 2

    Z 1
    1
    Example: dx
    −1 x

    Improper Integral of Type II:


    • If f is continuous on [a, b) and discontinuous at b, then
    Z b
    f (x) dx = .
    a

    • If f is continuous on (a, b] and discontinuous at a, then


    Z b
    f (x) dx = .
    a

    • If f has a discontinuity at c with a < c < b and

    Example: dx
